Stefano,
Truly a work of art! The file (?) work on the spine is incredible! BTW, I perused your gallery on your site, and really enjoyed the photography.

Thank you very much Dodge! I love to make pics too since 1970; a cordial regard from Venice, to the next (an ST interpretation of a Tracker!) Hi friend

Photography is also a hobby of mine, although I rarely have time these days to dabble. I took some college courses in the 80s but the advancements in digital have spoiled me Besides, film and processing is too cost prohibitive for me so my darkroom equipment sits in storage

Now thats top shelf there.
OUTSTANDING craftmanship
That Pentax camera coupled with your talent using it truly is impressive.
Once again you have raised the bar and gave the rest of us something to strive for.
Fit , finish , polish , execution of detail and presentation are again OUTSTANDING

I agree with you, too expensive, so I have abandoned the analogical and I use only the digital one (a little Pentax Optio 750Z) Very cordially, Stefano
